Log Message:
Detect whether TSC is invariant, which may be the case on both new AMD and
Intel processors. The invariance means that TSC runs at a constant rate
during all ACPI state changes. If it is variant, skew may occur and TSC is
generally unsuitable for wall clock services. This is especially relevant
with C-states; with variant TSC, the whole counter may be stopped with states
larger than C1. All x86 CPUs before circa mid-2000s can be assumed to have a
variant time stamp counter.
